Will the DockGrip Kayak and Paddle Board Roof Rack Work w/ the SportRack Semi-Custom Roof Rack?

Question:

Hi! Will these older Thule kayak dock gliders fit these crossbars? If so, do I need additional parts to attach them? This is my first roof rack, have been using the foam blocks to transport so not sure how it works yet. ?? Thanks!

Thanks for the pictures! Yes, the Thule DockGrip Kayak and Paddle Board Roof Rack item # TH895 will fit the square bars of the SportRack Semi-Custom Roof Rack item # SR1002. They have a maximum weight capacity of 89 lbs.

I have linked an installation video below so you can see how the DockGrip attaches.

I noticed you mentioned using foam blocks. If you need a new set of tie downs then I recommend the Thule Quick Draw Tie-Down Ropes w/ Ratchets and Strap Loops item # TH855XT.

The SportRack Semi-Custom Roof Rack item # SR1002 will attach to your 2009 Honda Fit's naked roof and be easily removed when not in use. This roof rack has a 130 lbs capacity but it's always a good idea to check your owner's manual for what your roof is rated for.
